"We gotta come up with a plan," Shaftoe says. "The plan: You live, I die," Goto Dengo says. "Fuck that," Shaftoe says. "Hey, don't you idiots know you're surrounded?" "We know," Goto Dengo says wearily. "We know for a long time." "So give up, you fucking morons! Wave a white flag and you can all go home." "It is not Nipponese way." "So come up with another fucking way! Show some fucking adaptability!" "Why are you here?" Goto Dengo asks, changing the subject. "What is your mission?" Shaftoe explains that he's looking for his kid. Goto Dengo tells him where all of the women and children are: in the Church of St. Agustin, in Intramuros. "Hey," Shaftoe says, "if we surrender to you, you'll kill us. Right?" "Yes." "If you guys surrender to us, we won't kill you. Promise. Scout's honor." "For us, living or dying is not the important thing," Goto Dengo says. "Hey! Tell me something I didn't fucking already know!" Shaftoe says. "Even winning battles isn't important to you. Is it?" Goto Dengo looks the other way, shamefaced. "Haven't you guys figured out yet that banzai charges DON'T FUCKING WORK?" "All of the people who learned that were killed in banzai charges," Goto Dengo says. As if on cue, the Nips in the left field dugout begin screaming "Banzai!" and charge, as one, out onto the field."
